ABSTRACT

In this work are highlighted a few basic features of the smart clothes. This concept is extremely useful, it represents the future and this time, technology will be used to monitor out body to not only make life easier for us. The smart clothes purpose is that to monitor the human body behavior throughout the day without discomforting the persons somehow. In case if it detects an abnormal reading of the data received from various sensors, using the fuzzy logic the system will issue a warning on a certain level depending on the importance of the abnormal value. Besides the sensor that monitors the temperature, cardiac rate or respiratory rate, it’s added a sensor for humidity monitoring, because humidity also provides discomfort. The system aims not only to evaluate the health status, but also the comfort state. These sensors have normal values based on scientific researched for a healthy person, and the alerts are generated by comparing the values received from sensors with normal values. The alerts can be issued on phone, smart watch, or smart bracelet. The concept of smart clothes comes as a necessity of developing a sustainable society in the context in which health plays an important role.
